Belinda

This is my favorite oatmeal cookie! The one from Maple Street smells like it OOB but I haven't put it in wax yet. I hope it's the same.

@Belinda I like to look all the time too. I'm sorry your customers mostly like Leather & Black Ice. The down side of living in Texas I guess.

Yea with fresheners that's what most people want. I don't get it. I did get an order for 6 of them that were in fruity scents though and I get to pick so that was nice. I placed a very small order with Maple Street because they have one that New York Scent has that I've been wanting to try but they're always out at NYS so I ordered a pound bottle from MS and a few samples to make it worth it. I'll let you know how it smells! It's called strawberry macaroons and vanilla whip so I hope it smells as good as it sounds!

Yeah, I agree about Studio.  I placed my first order with them last year.  For some reason I wasn't expecting much, maybe because I don't see them mentioned here very often, but I was very happy with them.  I really like Cocoa Butter Cashmere, Iced Vanilla Woods, Mahogany Apple and Radiant Red Maple, and especially Fall Festival.

 

Which reminds me, I need to stock up on those. 🙂

I haven't tried Fall Festival yet but that's always a good excuse to place an order LOL! Fall/Winter are my favorite type of fragrances anyway and I'm always on the hunt for the perfect one!

Just checked the vote tally and Candlewic still has none. Not one of my top 3, but I have liked several of their FO's through the years in soy candles.

 

Hadn't ordered in a while until they recently had a sale. So I restocked my favorite Berry Tangerine. Also Apple Cider Donut, Sage & Citrus, Pecans & Pralines, and a new one, Coastal Cypress. It smells good OOB.

 

Lots of other good ones too, I think.

I also like several of their fragrances. They're just not one of my top suppliers I guess because they don't sell the wax I use (or at least theirs goes by a different name) and I have so many of their (and others) FO's that I've never even used or only used once! I've kind of slowed down buying fragrances even though I still look all the time LOL! There's just no sense in it when right now most of what I'm selling are car fresheners and most people want leather or black ice. YUK to both of those but that's what they like LOL!

If you mean the round bullet like the CS ones, yup, I've noticed that too. Some of them slightly sucked in but not like the other types of bottles I have. I haven't noticed cracks yet though. Something to look out for. 😬

Yep, those are the ones I was talking about LOL! So far I don't remember any of those doing it but I will check my oils!

I've had several bottles collapse like you're talking about but I've had it do that with clear bottles and also white ones. So far none of the round bullet bottles have done it. I'm not sure what causes that. Some even crack at the sides after it collapses.

It was fragrance oil finder but I think it's gone now.

That's it! I kept thinking I used to go to a website with FO's listed and where to buy them but couldn't remember the name of it. I miss that website!

On 3/26/2022 at 8:21 AM, evilsprig said:

It really was-it made it so easy to find FO. I would imagine it is still out there somewhere, I just can't find it, lol.

If you find it please share!

I use mine for loads of things. It’s so versatile. The hardest part is figuring out which blade setting for the material - takes only a minute to test.

I've never even opened the box mine came in. I just had to have it so it was a Christmas gift three Christmases ago! It's still leaned up against a craft table in my wax room LOL! I don't even know if it has any tools that are used with it. I really need to check it out though. I see really cute things people make with theirs all the time.

Belinda…those melt me boxes are usually the kind you buy the digital pattern for on etsy and then use your cricut or similar cutting machine to make them yourself.   I have seen some pre-made on etsy but pricey.  

 

If I would take the time to take my silhouette out of the box maybe I could make some LOL! It's been in the box ever since I got it 3 Christmases ago! Talk about a procrastinator! That would be me for sure LOL!

On 3/21/2022 at 6:08 PM, TallTayl said:

Those were on pinterest. I bet with a cricut or silhouette we could cut just about anything.  

I was wondering if they had used one of those. I have a silhouette but it hasn't made it out of the box in over 3 years LOL! I defiantly need to play around with it and learn how to use it.

@TallTayl, those boxes that say "Melt Me" are adorable! Where did you find those?

I have not yet tried anything from Midwest Fragrance.  I did enter a drawing with them the other day, so maybe if I win I will have the chance to try them sooner then later.  You know me Belinda…. I am a mini version of you…… Once I start buying I can’t stop lol.  You of all people know how much I buy and have seen pics of my space.  😂🤣😂   
 

But my goodness am I ever loving Studio Fragrance.  I am always reluctant to try new suppliers, but they have been around now for a while and with the help of your opinion on them I decided to give them a go.  I so glad I listened!!! They have impressed me over and over again.  And the free shipping on anything over $25 is just unheard of!  💜

I hope you win the drawing so you can try Midwest Fragrances! They are really growing and have such wonderful customer service. Are you in the their group? I'm assuming so since you entered the drawing. Her mom is a member on here. The whole family are such sweet people. I really love them and their oils! I'm sure you will too. 

Studio defiantly has some good oils too and like you said you can't beat free shipping for $25.

I struggled with this too and I think Maple Street Candle's version is spot on.  It actually has a hot throw in candles.

Thanks, I might check theirs out!

Years ago I had a perfume that was chocolate and roses that I just knew was going to be yuck, but I ended up absolutely loving it.  I want this more for perfume / b&b but it's probably great in candles too.  What do you think, and do you have any suggestions?  Or recommendations on a few to blend?  Here are the notes from that perfume I loved so much:

 

Chocolate/cocoa

Rose

Amber

Musk

Do you remember the name of the perfume? I love chocolate orchid from NG but I'm going to have to try the chocolate rose from Fillmore after reading this thread!

I'm late commenting but the ones I've ordered from are

Candle Science

Candlemakers Store-Haven't found anything there that would keep me coming back though except maybe lids.

Candle Wic

Texas Candle Supplie

Daystar

Bitter Creek North and South

Houston Candle Supply

Fragrance Buddy

Cajun

Flaming

Midwest

Just Scent

WSP

Lonestar

AAA

Southwest-I've only ordered a couple from them

Cierra

Aztec

The Candle Source

Community

Candle Cocoon

Soy Organics-Can't think of their name but something like this

Nature's Gardens

Nature's Fragrance

Indiana

Studio

Millcreek

Wellington-most have been a miss for me

Pure

New York Scent

Maple Street

Elements-have only ordered a couple from them, not a main supplier

Peak

Rustic Escentuals

Virginia

Tennessee-still have some of their oils

Tri State

Keystone

Muddy

Northstar

Bulk Apothecary

Bramble Berry

Connies 

Crimson

MMS

Fillmore

Indigo

Oregon Trails

Scentsational soaping 

BeScented

Scented Expressions

I think that's it. Most of these I don't order from on a regular basis but have ordered a few of their oils.

Hello ladies and gents…. I just wanted to pop on the fragrance discussion thread and tell you all about my experience so far with Studio Fragrance.  I had been chatting with a few ladies about them, so I figured I’d start a thread and share with anyone who might be interested in trying some new, quite impressive fragrances.
 

Belinda is actually the one that first gave me the heads up about them and I have now placed several orders.  Anyone who knows me knows that I’m pretty darn picky about my fragrance oils.  And I have to say that I’m pretty impressed!  I started out with only a few bottles and they all did pretty well in my testing.  So that is what got me to reorder.  They have quickly become one of my main suppliers.  And the icing on the cake is if you spend $25 you get free shipping!!!!!  That kind of deal is just unheard of anymore.  I’m in Ohio and they are in Florida and if I order say on a Tuesday I usually have it by Thursday or Friday the latest.  💙 them.  Just LMK if you need opinions on what I have tested so far.  I’d be happy to share.  😇

Not to enable you even more but have you ordered from Midwest Fragrance Company yet? They are rocking it! I think you'd love them. Their shipping is reasonable, great customer service and great products! Just wanted to throw that out there since we're all in this boat together LOL!

@CynnaYes, I've tried them and been happy with everything I've bought from them. I can't think of anything in particular off the top of my head that I've bought but I do remember that I liked them.

@Belinda @BenderSF added those three. 😊

Thank you!

On 2/24/2022 at 5:52 PM, barbaranj said:

I agree with Belinda and am happy to see MWFC (Midwest) added.  They really have great oils.  
Another one I am very impressed with is Pure Fragrance Oils as wells as Nature’s Fragrance.  Been pleased with both. 
 

 

 

I forgot about those two but I agree! Studio is good also. I've also liked everything I've received from New York Scent too. Too many choices!!!

TallTayl said she would add more by request. She added Aztec and Fragrance Buddy for me.

How do we get some more added? Midwest Fragrance Co. is great! I would probably also add BeScented but Midwest has better customer service for sure.

I would  add Midwest Fragrance Company as one of my favorites too. They new but everything is great from them. Wonderful customer service and products. Y'all should try them out.

@Belinda, here is the survery.

 

Thanks! So many to choose from and so many not on the list LOL! 

I'm not much for florals but I do love fruity scents. My favorite ones are Butt Naked from NG, Aztec, or The Candle Source. Monkey Farts from NG, I do like chocolate orchid from NG which is floral and chocolate so not just a floral scent. Iced Lemon Biscotti from Fillmore or Iced lemon cookies from Aztec. Strawberry shortcake from CS (before they discontinued), Blueberry Cobbler from LS or Aztec. Those are some of my favorite spring/summer scents.

If CW is Candlewic, you need to head over to the current poll and vote for them because poor Candlewic has 0 votes.

 

I really like CW too, but haven't ordered from them in a while.

 

Midwest isn't included in the survey, but TallTayl said she would add suppliers if requested to do so.

Where's the poll?
